From the graph,

For Murshidabad-silk saree type D, marked price is 40% over cost price, and discount is 25% on marked price

We know that If profit percentage is p, mark up percentage is m and discount percentage is d, then

p = m – d – (m*d)/100

Hence profit percentage on saree type D = 40 – 25 + 40(–25)/100 = 5%. 

So if the cost price is 100, the selling price should be 105.

Hence, the ratio of the cost price and the selling price of Murshidabad-silk saree type D 

= 100 : 105

= 20 : 21.
